How to Use the Expedia MCP in Google ADK

Q: How do I connect the Expedia MCP Server to Google ADK?

Use the McpToolset class with StreamableHttpServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. This registers all 13 travel tools with your Gemini agent in Python.

Q: Can Gemini search for regional destinations using Expedia and Google ADK?

Yes, the agent calls searchregions to find the correct destination ID. Gemini then uses that ID to query hotels via searchproperties within your specified region.

Q: How do I restrict which Expedia MCP tools are exposed to Google ADK?

Use the optional toolnames filter when initializing your McpToolset. For example, you can expose only searchflights and getflightquotes while blocking booking tools.

Feed enterprise travel data from BigQuery straight into Gemini using Google ADK and this Expedia MCP Server.

Context-rich itinerary building with Google ADK

The `search_properties` tool retrieves hotel listings based on geographic coordinates. Gemini models use their large context window to ingest hundreds of these hotel search results simultaneously. Your agent processes descriptions, amenities, and location data without running out of memory. After retrieving properties, the agent calls `get_property_detail` to extract deep content for specific hotels. Google ADK lets you cross-reference this hotel data with your internal corporate travel policies stored in BigQuery. The agent filters out properties that exceed company spending limits before presenting options.

Match corporate flight and car data at scale

The `search_cars` tool finds rental cars at airport branches, returning class and pricing details. Gemini analyzes these options alongside flight data retrieved from `search_flights`. The agent aligns flight arrival times with car pickup windows to prevent long airport waits for employees. To lock in pricing, the agent uses `get_car_quotes` and `get_flight_quotes`. The Google ADK framework passes these quotes to your enterprise database to log estimated trip costs. This integration ensures your financial records update before any actual booking takes place.

Manage Expedia reservations directly from Gemini

The `create_booking` tool handles lodging reservations using selected room quotes. Your agent executes this tool within the Google Cloud ecosystem, allowing you to trigger automated Slack notifications or emails upon completion. The tool returns a unique reservation ID that is stored directly in your database. If travel plans change, the agent uses `cancel_booking` to void the reservation. Google ADK handles the asynchronous execution of these requests, ensuring that enterprise systems are updated when Expedia confirms the cancellation.

Setup guide

Set up Expedia MCP in Google ADK

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
google-adk package (pip install google-adk)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install Google ADK

Run pip install google-adk to install the Agent Development Kit. MCP support is included via the McpToolset class.
2

Connect via SSE transport

Use McpToolset.from_server() with SseServerParams pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Create an LlmAgent

Pass the returned mcp_tools list directly to LlmAgent(tools=mcp_tools). The ADK maps each MCP tool to a native Gemini function call — no manual schema definitions required.
4

Run with any Gemini model

The agent works with any Gemini model (gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-2.5-pro, etc.). Copy the full example on the right to get started with Expedia tools in your ADK agent.

agent.py

from google.adk.agents import LlmAgent
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_toolset import McpToolset
from google.adk.tools.mcp_tool.mcp_session_manager import SseServerParams

# Connect to the MCP via SSE
mcp_tools, exit_stack = await McpToolset.from_server(
    connection_params=SseServerParams(
        url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    )
)

# Create your agent with auto-discovered tools
agent = LlmAgent(
    name="Expedia_agent",
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    instruction="You have access to Expedia tools via MCP.",
    tools=mcp_tools,
)
